When asked what part the CDU has in the rise of right-wing extremism in Saxony, Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer finds himself on the defensive. He doesn’t show much insight.
Curiously, in football it is often the case that substitutes force the decision. If the format allows it, this can also happen on political talk shows. Just like with Caren Miosga on Sunday evening. The concept of the show is that a single guest is interviewed in the first half and then two more guests are added in the second half, the substitutes so to speak. If you’re lucky, the show can pick up speed after that, as you would say with football. That’s exactly what happened at Miosga and in the end the guest, Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer, was, well, a little dizzy.
